Theme

This month our theme in Chapel is friendship. 

How can we be good friends to ourselves?
How can we be good friends to other people?  Family? Friends? Neighbors? Strangers? Enemies? 
How can we be good friends to animals, plants, and Mother Earth?  
​How can we be good friends to God? 

Song

The basis of all friendship is love.  Below is a recording of a song we'll be singing in chapel this month. (Note: This recording was made when we taught the song to campers at Harry Potter Camp at Camp Stoney last summer....which is why instead of singing "people" we're singing "wizards.") 
Love, love, love, love
people this is your call
Love your neighbor as yourself
for God loves all!
​You can replace "people" with any other appropriate words or names of your choice.  For example:
Love, love, love, love
NOAH this is your call
Love your neighbor as yourself
for God loves all!

Love, love, love, love
MADDIE this is your call
Love your neighbor as yourself
for God loves all!

​Love, love, love, love
SISTERS this is your call
Love your neighbor as yourself
for God loves all!

Love, love, love, love
FAMILY this is our call
Love your neighbor as yourself
for God loves all!

Stories

This month we'll share a variety of stories to help us explore the theme of friendship.

We'll share the Godly Play Parable of the Good Samaritan.  (Click here for Parent Page for the Godly Play Parable of the Good Samaritan.) Together we'll wonder, "Who was a neighbor (or a friend) to the one who was hurt?"

​We'll also share "Be Kind" by Pat Zietlow Miller,  "Listening with my heart" by Gabi Garcia, and "Can I play too?" with Elephant and PIggie, by Mo Willems.

    My name is Sylvia Miller-Mutia (aka Mother Sylvia), and I am a priest in the Episcopal Church.  I am delighted to grow and share spiritual support with the families at St. Mark's Montessori School, at  St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Albuquerque, NM 

     I am married to Donnel (grief counselor, couples coach, artist, best dad ever), and we have three awesome kids, ranging in age from 8-14.

    ​ I hold a BFA in Ballet Performance from the University of Utah, an MA in Liturgy and the Arts from Pacific School of Religion, and Certificates of Anglican Studies and Theological Studies from Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, CA.   As a priest, dancer, and mother of three, I am passionate about inviting people of all ages to join in seeking the divine through worship, prayer, and practice that is embodied, sacramental, participatory, and intergenerational.
